The Wiley Handbook of Global Educational Reform – eBook

The Wiley Handbook of Global Educational Reform (PDF) examines educational reform from a global perspective. Comprised of approximately 25 original and specially commissioned essays, which together interrogate educational reform from a critical global and transnational perspective, this volume explores a range of topics and themes that fully investigate global convergences in educational reform policies, ideologies, and practices.

The Handbook of Global Educational Reform probes the ideology, history, organization, and institutional foundations of global educational reform movements; institutions, actors, and agendas; and national, local, and global education reform trends. It further examines the “new managerialism” in global educational reform, including the standardization of national systems of educational governance, teaching, curriculum, and learning through the rise of new systems of privatization, audit, big-data, accountability, biometrics, learning analytics, and new technology-driven adaptive learning models. Finally, it takes on the subjective and intersubjective experiential dimensions of the new educational reforms and alternative paths for educational reform tied to the ethical imperative to reimagine education for human flourishing, justice, and equality.
